Scarsdale, NY $7.45 million
With a “perfect layout for today’s buyers” — particularly encouraging news if you’re looking to buy today! — this “stately” Colonial is situated in the Heathcote Estate section. Built in 1998, it was further enhanced in a 2002 renovation and now features the “highest-quality finishes throughout,” as well as a family-friendly configuration that accommodates six bedrooms and seven-plus bathrooms within 12,806 square feet. Upgrades include a built-in sound system throughout and an “unbelievable” lower level with a home gym. The 1.17-acre level property also offers an opportunity to add a swimming pool alongside the “meticulously landscaped” lawns. Agent: Leslie S. Dorf, Houlihan Lawrence, 914-522-6400

This full-floor condo penthouse oasis in the Story House building, above East 22nd Street, encompasses 2,217 square feet — with three bedrooms and three full bathrooms — as well as 228 square feet of private, landscaped terrace. The stainless-steel “chef’s” kitchen extends into the central great room, which features a remote-controlled gas fireplace. High ceilings and arched windows ensure that the Danish black-oak hardwood floors are “bathed in sunlight.” From there, a “floating staircase” leads up to the terrace. And the building offers VIP concierge service. Agent: Nitza Shafrir Zinbarg, Manhattan Skyline Management, 212-697-8679
